astro observations that feel like dropping your phone on your face // neural downloads 🌬️

• aries can suprisingly be very monk-like, like i will not speak for three days but i will build a table without nails. they’re childlike but can be very wise. people get confused by this. the idea people have of them can make them feel smaller than they are. also this depends on where mercury is. if it’s in pisces, then they’re probably more on the silent side but with fantastical imaginations.

• pisces men are like that™ because the world bullies the softness out of them. deep down they want to do things like cry at sunset but then that becomes “get a job!!” they’re trying to merge with the divine but it translates as bad communication skills and spotify playlists.

• aquarius placements get their phone in hand, suddenly their brain goes into in orbit. they’re quite literally addicted to scrolling and watching. leo’s are also on their phone but mainly using the front camera or socializing. they just learned how to Shazam a song. and have like 7 apps.

• cardinal signs had a five year romance plan by the 10th grade. aries had an ideal type and didn’t budge until they found it. cancer was naming the kids first and foremost. capricorn scheduled the wedding. libra made a mood board for it, and an ideal traits note. they treat it like shopping.

• sag venus falls in love in 3 seconds and out in 2 - it’s like teleportation 🤣

• scorpio mercury says “i’m fine” with the same energy as a someone holding a loaded g*n. they’re lying!!

• gemini mars loves a verbal foreplay olympics. flirty texts, three side convos, and they love for you to guess what they meant.

• virgo risings idea of fun is fixing your life while ignoring their own mental breakdown. theyll load your dishwasher while trying not to cry

• taurus rising could sell you dirt and you’d be satisfied

• cancer mercury remembers everything especially that one thing you said in 2019 at brunch. and they forgave you…..or did they

• north node conjunct mercury means your destiny involves a lot of talking. like more than you probably want, but hey!!

• air signs fall in love after lurking on your google search history. earth signs love to see you working in your element. water signs want your birth time and for you to just…. sit on the ground with them. fire signs just want an unlimited pass to touch your face in public.

• sag moons/risings whole concept is basically i’m not avoiding my feelings i’m just traveling to a country where they can’t find me

• libra venus/moon flirt by asking deep questions and mirroring your exact personality. “do you like this?” **shifts entire identity to match**

It started innocently enough. Or... maybe not.

Maybe it started the day you watched Pedro carry a full box of firewood up the cabin stairs, sleeves rolled, forearms flexed, biceps stretching the fabric of his henley like it was personally offending him. You remembered standing there, holding absolutely nothing useful in your hands, thinking: Oh. Oh. We’re in trouble.

And from there? Slippery slope.

You clung to his arm when you walked down the street. Not just hand-holding—arm-holding. Your hand wrapped right around his bicep like it was your personal stress ball. People would pass by thinking what a cute couple when really you were just mentally cataloguing every muscle flex as he opened the door or adjusted his sunglasses.

Pedro definitely noticed.

“You good, baby?” he’d ask, voice dipped in that teasing rasp, glancing down at where your fingers squeezed around him.

“Yeah,” you’d hum. “Just... holding.”

His lip twitched. “Uh huh.”

In bed it was worse. Or better. Definitely better.

Nails digging into his arms as he hovered over you, rough palms on your hips, your thighs squeezing his waist like your life depended on it.

“Jesús…” he groaned against your throat as you tugged at his biceps like a handlebar. “You’re ridiculous.”

“Shut up,” you whined, breathless. “Flex for me.”

And God help you, he did.

Smirking, cocky, knowing exactly what he was doing as he curled one arm, muscle bulging under your palm.

“Better?” he rasped, thrusting deeper just to be mean.

“Fuck—yes—”

Even cuddling wasn’t safe. You curled into his side like a cat, head on his chest, fingers lazily squeezing at the curve of his arm while he scrolled his phone.

Pedro glanced down. “You good?”

“Mhm.”

“Need me to file a trademark for these, cariño?” He flexed lazily under your palm. “Official stress relief device?”

You grinned. “Shut up.”

“Make me.”

Your knee slid over his thigh. “Don’t tempt me.”

He tossed the phone aside. “Oh, I am.”

The Glasses Scene

Haikyuu! ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Akaashi Keiji ❥➳·₊˚

ꕀ

〃cw: slightly suggestive (if you squint) 〃fluff, Time-skipped! 〃pairing: Akaashi Keiji x reader 〃wc: 585

a/n: I needed a closure. I need to get this scene OUT OF MY MIND. Also, I suck at describing scene, this is the best I can do. *sigh*

You’re scrolling through your phone, minding your own business, when suddenly a reel pops up. It’s an edit clip of the k-drama romcom — Business Proposal.

That scene.

That damn glasses scene.

No matter how many times it appears, it still gets you.

You don’t even realise the smile pulling at your lips until a quiet giggle slips out, the kind that makes you sound like a flustered schoolgirl trying to stifle her excitement with the back of her hand.

Akaashi notices. Of course he does. He always does.

But he never says anything. Just glances over the top of his book with that calm, thoughtful look, and then returns to his pages like nothing happened.

Days passed and you have forgotten about it.

Until one quiet evening.

You’re in the kitchen rinsing off the last mug when you hear soft thud of his footsteps behind you.

You put the drying cloth aside, and just as you turn to greet him — he’s already there, standing close enough that your noses almost touch.

You’re caught off guard as he rests both hands on the counter behind you, caging you in with ease.

“I’m back, sweetheart,” he murmurs, voice gentle as ever, gaze locked onto yours with an intensity that makes your heart pound.

Before you can say anything, he reaches for the side of his glasses with one hand. Your breath hitches.

In one swift move, he slides it off and sets it down onto the counter behind you. His gaze sharp and focuses intently on you. And something about this moment feels very cinematic. It feels almost unreal.

Then he leans in and captures your lips.

It starts off slow. Intentional. Like he’s taking his time savouring you.

His lips are soft, moving gently over yours, coaxing you open with every swap. He licks at your bottom lip. A soft, demanding request that you would never deny.

You granted him entrance, and the kiss deepens almost immediately.

It turns from sweet and gentle to a tangle of heat and need.

It becomes hot and messy in the most dizzying way. One hand slides up your back, pulling you flush against him, while the other cups your jaw, leaving no room for you to escape.

You clutch his shirt tightly like your life depends on it, and your knees go weak from the way his mouth claims yours. He kisses you like he’s starved for it. Like he’s been holding back far too long.

Just as your legs start to give out, he finally pulls back. He rests his forehead againsts yours as you struggle to catch your breath.

“So?” his voice barely above a whisper. “Did that live up to the drama?”

Then it clicks — he was copying that scene.

But you can only stare at him with wide eyes, flushed cheeks, and swollen lips, still panting softly.

He chuckles and brushes his thumb across your lips, wiping away the faint string of saliva, “I’ll take that as a yes.”

You take a deep breath, trying to steady the rapid thump of your heartbeat, “W-when did you learn that?”

His lips curl into a faint smirk, gaze flickering to your lips once again.

“Can’t have you obsessing over someone else,” he murmurs, letting his hands slip under your shirt, fingers tracing the bare skin of your waist.

Then he leans in again, lips brushing the shell of your ear as his whispers,

“Now…how about we recreate the next part of the scene, hmm?”

Various Pet Defaults - Part 1

Pet Bed Basket Expensive

Replaced with chrissy6930's mesh edit of said pet bed (scroll down) and re-mapped by me to use 512x512 textures. Existing recolors will break unfortunately, but I couldn't even find many to begin with. I did include 8 recolors (some of them are remakes of windkeeper's (T$R) recolors). They all have a dirty state, it's not as dirty (/turquoise) as Maxis' but it's something at least. I will include my .psd for this in part 2.

Maxis: polycount: 2784, texture size: 1024x512

My default: polycount: 1294, texture size: 512x512

Pet Food

I dislike the original pet food texture, but I liked the one from this upload by @beautifulnerdkitty. I edited it slightly and turned it into a default replacement.

Note: custom pet bowls might not use my default, since I think they often have their own?

Bon Voyage Bone

The bone sims can dig up from bon voyage is identical to the chew bone from pets ep (but a separate object completely), so I replaced it with the bone from castaway. I re-mapped it to use 140x100px texture (yes!) and I also made it buyable (you can find it under misc - pets) but this edit is in a separate file. If you install the buyable file in your downloads folder, it will have a custom star and can be deleted in-game, and doing so will corrupt your game. If you decide to install the buyable file as well, be careful not to delete the bone in-game!

Maxis made a custom description for this bone, but only in English. I fixed this and now the description is available in all languages, courtesy of Google translate (the Swedish translation I'm confident in but please let me know if any translation needs fixing). They also broke the shadow, which I've successfully restored and edited to fit the new mesh.

Maxis: polycount: 672, texture size: 64x32

My default: polycount: 452, texture size: 140x100 (original was 512x512)

Edited CC

All of the edited custom downloads I mention below, I've re-used their files so you have to choose between my versions or their original!

I re-mapped @deedee-sims' pet pillows to match my new 512x512 textures.

I swapped mesh on hmiller61615's dog chew treat, repo'd it to Maxis' treat texture and also made a version using BV's animations to get rid of the squeaky sound. The file ending with _pets is using the animations from pets with the squeaky sound. The file with _bv at the end is using the animations from bon voyage, with a "boney" sound (and therefore requires bon voyage). Choose one of the files!

hmiller61615's original: polycount: 672, texture size: 64x32

My edit: polycount: 160, texture size: repo'd to Maixs' texture (64x32).

I edited one of the bones by @vampirekiss6661 from here (scroll down). I made it smaller and a tad thicker and gave it a shadow. I made a bv version of this as well, choose one file; either pets or bv!

Polycount: 402, texture size: 128x256

I also re-mapped, resized + edited the textures of ats2's pet bowl & recolor, converted by @beautifulnerdkitty's here. I removed the sheen, repo'd it to Maxis' resources when possible, and gave it a dirty state. My .psd is included if you'd like to make more recolors.

Polycount: 482, texture size: 256x256 (original was 1024x1024)

Recommend Mods

@episims' no rotating pet bowl fix (thank god for that) and Aaron's finicky pet fix (ad-free direct link, SFS mirror).

My pet bed default is required for my recolors to work, and the bv bone default requires bon voyage, otherwise nothing in this dowload is dependent on anything so you can pick and choose what you want. As usual, no mip-maps and everything has been compressed to reduce file size. You can choose between merged or separate recolors (which are clearly named).

Do let me know if anything is wonky or you stumble upon any problems. I am so sorry for the long post, this download wasn't supposed to be more than just two defaults (well, technically it is only 2 defaults included here but I kept getting sidetracked as you can see).. and I have so many more I'll have to make a part 2 (cats are not forgotten)!

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MEGA

Edit 2025-03-25: So sorry!! The pet bowl from ats was incomplete, I apparently never finished that one? Hahah so sorry, the links above have been updated with the fixed mesh. It's only the mesh you need to replace (stroda3t2petbowl1MESH_vk.package) all other files are the same. Because MEGA doesn't allow one to update an uploaded file, I had to delete it and upload it again. Thank you so much @sweetbeagaming for letting me know about the broken shadow<3

No MTS you might ask, and yeah sadly. I'm done uploading to MTS, the upload-wizard completely hates me haha. I've lost all my text more times than I want to admit and keep in mind I have to write [b] and [url=] manually over there. From now on I'll only upload to my tumblr. No offense to MTS, it's a great site and I love it dearly.

Credits: chrissy6930 for the edited mesh, @deedee-sims for the pillows, SpaceDoll for their dirty overlay, hmiller61615 for the chew treat, @vampirekiss6661 for the bone, @cluedosims for the cluedo metal resource, architechture_th for the wood texture, chirokung for the paw texture, aroundthesims2/sandra and @beautifulnerdkitty for the pet bowl, someone(?) for the hyena bone converted from castaway, and lasty, Maxis.

[ao3scrapesearch]

Hiya! I know it's been a little while but I just wanted to let you know I finally got around to making the web version of that fic poisoning tool I made about a month ago. It's at https://tricksofloki.github.io/ficpoison.html if you're interested :)

OHOHOHO!

Alright, I gave this a little test on my own fic over here. Quick little review/notes for anyone interested! (But the tl;dr is that I approve based on my initial review of the original code and based on using this web tool to automate running the code.)

This version is super easy to use. I'll be honest; I was struggling trying to figure out how to run the code locally before because that is not a coding language I personally use, and this website takes out all of the hard part of doing that. You need to do the one time task of creating a work skin to enable the "poison" CSS used, and you need to make sure that work skin is enabled for any work you're going to use this on. The code to put into your work skin is available at the link. If you already have a work skin you use, you can just add this class to it. (I think the tutorial I linked to does a good job walking you through how, but I'm open to doing a tutorial on this blog if anyone wants that.)

If you're poisoning an existing fic, first have a backup copy. Once you poison it, that copy is going to be annoying to UN-poison if you ever want to, so you should keep a private copy on your PC or phone or wherever so you have the unpoisoned version available. Once you do this, your copy on AO3 is poisoned, and it would take a fair amount of effort to unpoison as the author. Upside: as the author, you can see all the CSS stuff in the background, so if you really need to unpoison a copy as the author with full access to it, it's not impossible. Just really annoying.

For reference, here's what I can see as the author with access to the edit page:

I can clearly see where the poison is if I really wanted to go back through and unpoison.

And here is what I can see in a copy scraped with nyuuzyou's code:

You can definitely see it's messed up by looking, but you don't see an active callout to where exactly the poison code is. Keep in mind that not every scraper uses the same code as nyuuzyou, and more sophisticated code may pull something more sophisticated than the plain text from nyuuzyou's tool. Other scrapers may be pulling fics with the formatting and everything, and I don't know exactly what that output looks like. Depending on what their output is, if they can see the class for the poison, they can pretty easily code something to remove it. That's me being overly conservative, I suspect. I haven't heard of any scrapers who have bothered with anything more than plain text, and this isn't an issue unless they're grabbing the full HTML. (Translation: From what I know, this is NOT an issue. Yet. So this is not a weakness of the poison tool. Yet.)

Based on the output, anyone who's doing a half decent job of cleaning up the data they scrape would toss my fic out of the dataset. It's full of what look like typos because the poison got placed mid-word, so it looks like I just suck at writing. If your goal is to get tossed out of the dataset, this is perfect. If a scraper isn't paying attention at all, you can contribute some really terrible training data if they leave your fic in the set because your poisoned fic is going to be full or words that don't even exist thanks to the word placement.

As far as using the tool, I used an existing fic. I went into the edit page for the chapter, scrolled to the bottom and left the text editor on the default HTML mode. I copied everything in that box. (Easy method: click into the box where you can type out the fic, and press "Ctrl" and "A" to select all, then "Ctrl" and "C" to copy.) I went to the tab with all-hail-trash-prince's tool, and I pasted it into the box on the left.

I clicked "Apply poison" and the poisoned fic appeared in the right box. I copied the poisoned fic from the right box, went back to my fic on AO3 with my custom work skin already enabled, and I pasted the poison fic in place of the original fic. I clicked the preview button to make sure it would look normal, and it did. So I clicked to update the chapter with the poison block included.

I loaded the chapter with the default Microsoft screen reader turned on, and it didn't read any of the poison data, only the real fic that is visible on the screen, so success there.

So that brings us to applying this to a brand new fic. For those, you're going to go through the motions of posting a fic as usual, but instead of clicking post when you're done, you're going to swap that text editing mode over to HTML and copy everything in there. Take it to the poison tool, paste it in, and grab your poisoned copy. Go back to AO3, make sure your poison work skin is enabled, and then replace the original fic with the poison fic, making sure to stay in the HTML editing mode while you do.

(Sneaky quick edit after posting: sometimes the tool leaves you with a dangling <p> or </p> or <em>. Make sure you always preview the chapter after poisoning it, and you can go back in to the rich text editor to delete any of the floating tags that were accidentally put in by the poison.)

The last downside I notice is that your word count is immediately wrong. My 34k fic looks like a 43k fic after poisoning the first 16k words. Technically, you don't have to tell people the true word count of your fic but like. That feels a little rude to the reader, so I think it would be kind to briefly put the true word count either at the bottom of your summary or in your first author's note.

To me, the downsides of having to create a custom work skin (that trash-prince has kindly already written for everyone) and having the wrong word count displayed... are nothing. In comparison to having my fic be easy to scrape, I'll take those slight downsides any day. From what I know of the current scraping landscape, this is a reasonably effective way to make your fic useless to anyone who scrapes it because people are out there that will be scraping AO3 again.

I'm curious to hear anyone else's thoughts if they check this tool out or try it for themselves, so don't be shy! I'm one person, so maybe I can't catch everything. If you're seeing something that I'm not, I want to hear about it.

And if anyone wants a more visual step by step, you are welcome to yell my way. If this text post is clear enough for everyone, I won't bother, but if a more visual walkthrough will help anyone, then I'm happy to do it!

EDIT: Just tossing in a summary of feedback I've seen from others below!

The tool is pulling from a list of most popular English words, which means it may add inappropriate verbiage to G-rated fics. See this ask for info. trash-prince has made adjustments based on the initial words spotted, but please kindly report any other concerning poison words you find, particularly slurs and other wording that cannot be interpreted in a SFW way.

I dunno if this is asking too much of your time/being obnoxious but, what sort of study/practice would you recommend for someone who wants to do comics professionally but can't go to college for it/is financially strapped?? Thank you for reading this!

well, considering I’m not going to school to do comics and have never done comics professionally, I definitely think it’s something you can teach yourself! I’ve thought about doing graphic novels, but haven’t done much research. I can share what general information I know.

The skills you’d use to make storyboards stronger are VERY transferrable to the ones that make comics stronger. It’s best to have a good sense of perspective, storytelling/pacing, visual clarity, action, etc.

Comics have a fun little quirk where you can really play with time in a way that storyboards can’t. In a storyboard, if two characters have their mouths open at the same time, the animator will assume they’re speaking at the same time. But in comics, you can have multiple moments in a singular panel, and time will “pass” as the reader’s eye moves across it.

There’s lots of different ways to arrange comics. The webtoons-style scroll comics are very popular right now, and they’re nice in the sense that you spend less time worrying about how an entire page is arranged, BUT it makes it harder if you ever decide to sell a physical version. Spending the extra time at the beginning to set up your formatting will save you trouble in the long run.

Also consider time. Making a comic can be a long term commitment. Figure out how frequently you can produce finished pages without burning out— daily? Three times a week? Once a week?— and calculate how long it’d take you to fill up a volume. Would it be your full time job, or would you be working on top of that? A lot of serialized comics can be a 10+ year commitment!!

There’s also publishing independently, or working for a studio. Indie comics will give you more freedom for what your story/art direction/deadlines will be, but comics are very oversaturated and hard to get readers looking at your work. A studio will help with that kind of thing, but depending where you go, you may be illustrating based on a concept someone else has written (which— that can be preferable for some people!).

But regardless, the best way to study comics is by reading comics! Pay attention to art styles you like (and if it has an entire team of assistants helping it look that way), pay attention to speech bubble arrangements, how value is used, how panels are shaped. And pay attention to when you’re confused too! You can learn from other artists’ mistakes.

and draw a lot. I started doing “comics” ~2016 by drawing all the panels on a page in my sketchbook, and then taking pictures of each part zoomed in with my phone, and then posting the panels as individual images. At some point that translated to me doing digital comics where I draw on one canvas, and make a new layer for each panel. I do this a lot still! And more recently I’ve been putting an effort into doing paneled comics. It’s not as hard as it used to be for me, but now I have almost 10 years of comic experience under my belt!! So keep drawing!!! Just do it a lot and you’ll get better

astrology observations pt. 5 (i believe)

remember, if this doesn’t resonate, leave it, scroll away and forget it. i wanted a summer theme, so i’ll do it on this post why not 💛

🐬🍋🌊🌅 🐬🍋🌊🌅 🐬🍋🌊🌅 🐬🍋🌊🌅

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

🐬 I wish I could look a Sag sun in the eyes and tell them that no matter how little or big they achieve, they’re worth something. That they don’t have to chase the next big shiny thing, that they don’t have to be a millionaire by age 30, that they don’t have to « be someone » because they’re already someone.

🍋 We’re always talking about how lucky Jupiter natives are and how free spirited they are, but the truth is, Jupiter is also about expansion and sometimes I feel like that expansion translates in a pressure to be exceptional. And in this society, in this world, being exceptional is only valued at a material level. The number of Sag suns that I’ve met that felt like complete failures at like 20 years old is not normal. They’re so harsh on themselves. I wish I could give them all a big hug

🌊 The power of pisces mercury lies in their intuition. As virgo’s sister sign, it makes sense that Pisces mercuries don’t find their answers through logic and evidence-based facts but rather intuition and feelings. It can be hard for them to trust that gut feeling or to feel intelligent cause if someone asks them « well how do you know? » their answers most likely will be « Eh, just a hunch » But trust it, it’s one of your many gifts

🌅 I used to be so fascinated with people with Aries and Gemini in their birth chart cause I found them so comfortable with people, the life of a party type of people and so damn charming. As I grow older though and begin to see life in nuances of grey instead of straight black and white, I’m able to realize that those people often suffer from people-pleasing tendencies, a sense of self that is either broken or fragile and codependent behaviors. It’s like their sense of worth is tied to how much people like them.

🐬 Cancers are very loyal, I know it’s not a popular sign on mainstream medias and people love to shit on them, but the truth is, Cancers will have your back, no matter the placements. If you’re ever loved by a Cancer, make sure to treat them right !

🍋 People who are not that much into astrology will meet a Leo and be like “omg, you don’t act like a Leo at all, you’re not arrogant or an attention whore” When we look at Leos celebrities, it’s easier to see that arrogant, flashy, extra side. But irl, we rarely meet that “kind “of Leos, right? (Except at bars lol) The reason for it, I found, is that Leos, for the most part, have personas. First of all, they’re a lot more private than you’d think. I believe that most Leos loooove attention, but they also know when it’s appropriate to show it or not. Depending on their other placements, they’ll decide when to grab that spotlight and when to leave it to others.

🌊 I had this girl that I knew that was a Leo sun (and I’m sure a bunch of virgo placements) and everybody was shocked of her sun sign because she was introverted, quiet and observant. But she was still a theater girl, wanted to be the main character (preferred the villain), veryyyy assertive when it came to her boundaries or what she liked and didn’t liked, and very extra and colourful in her outfits. The reason why I don’t like mainstream astrology is because it’s a bit childish in the way it describes a sign. You can love attention but show it in a way other than screaming and dancing on tables. This girl, for example. To me, she was a Leo sun to a T.

🌅 Aquarius placements 🤝🏽 their desires to connect with someone through intellectual stimulation, but refusing to show and acknowledge their deep rooted fear of intimacy and vulnerability

sam winchester x reader

read part 2 here

a/n: i'll be posting nearly all of my drafts one by one so there might be a slight spam !! (might be a bit suggestive? idk)

The bunker was quiet, too quiet for 11:47 PM. Dean had passed out hours ago, and Cas had long since disappeared to who-knows-where. You were curled on the couch in the library with a well-worn book half open in your lap, the words blurring together thanks to your traitorous eyelids. And then there was Sam.

He was still at the long wooden table, hunched over a laptop, hair falling into his eyes as he scrolled through lore. His flannel sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and you pretended not to notice the way the light glinted off his forearms.

“You should go to bed,” he murmured suddenly, eyes still on the screen.

You smirked. “You should take your own advice.”

Sam looked over his laptop, that half-smile playing on his lips. “I’m working.”

“And I’m providing moral support,” you shot back, stretching like a cat. His gaze flickered down, just for a second, but you caught it. You always caught it.

“You’re distracting,” he said softly, almost to himself.

“Is that so?” you said, pretending to sound scandalized, even as you closed your book and stood. Slowly. Deliberately. “What would you do if I really tried to distract you?”

Sam leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable but his eyes suddenly darker. “Depends. Are you trying now?”

You sauntered over, heart thudding but voice light. “Would it be such a bad thing if I was?”

He looked up at you from his chair, and you felt your breath hitch. That gaze? Pure honey and heat. “You know,” he said, voice low and thick, “there are more effective ways to keep me up than reciting Latin translations.”

You felt your face flush, but you didn’t look away. Instead, you leaned down, hands on the table, putting you at his eye level. “That so, Winchester?”

His hand came to rest lightly on your waist—barely touching, but very much there. “You keep looking at me like that, I might forget how to read.”

“Good,” you whispered. “Then maybe you’ll finally take a break.”

He stood slowly, close enough to feel the heat rolling off him. “Is this the break you’re offering?”

You grinned. “You’ll have to follow me and find out.”

Sam chuckled low in his throat. “Y/N?”

“Yeah?”

He leaned down, lips brushing your ear. “You’re trouble.”

You bit your lip. “And you love it.”

The Nine Muses

This is a very simple post about the Muses in hopes of explaining who they are, what their domains are, and some things they may be able to help with. This post isn't a deep dive by any means - just a simple introduction. Enjoy!

Who are the Muses?

The Muses, or Mousai, are goddesses of inspiration for various creative, scientific, and poetic endeavors. They were believed to also have knowledge of all things that have come to pass, remembering events with clarity that mortals could not hope to have. Their names are Kalliope, Kleio, Ourania, Thaleia, Melpomene, Polymnia, Erato, Euterpe, and Terpsikhore.

In total, there are nine Muses. The god Apollon was often believed to be the leader of the Muses, having a very close connection with them. The goddess Artemis was also paired with them.

Their origin and family varied depending on the source, but the most common notion was that Zeus and Mnemosyne are their parents and that they were born at the foot of Mount Olympus. Some other possible parents are Ouranos and Gaia, Zeus and Plousia, Pieros and Antiope, or even Apollon.

Poets of the past used to invoke the names of the Muses in hopes of gaining inspiration and the ability to gracefully convey their words. When a connection was drawn between them and Apollo, they were also known for their prophetic abilities as well, even being said to teach the art of prophecy.

What are each of their domains?

Kalliope - The eldest of the Muses, she is the goddess of eloquence and epic poetry. She is often considered the mother of Orpheus. She was depicted with a tablet, a scroll, or (later on) a lyre. Her name has been translated to mean "beautiful-voiced".

Kleio - Wise and intelligent, she is named the goddess of history. In art, she was often depicted with an open scroll or chest full of books. Her name was translated as "to make famous".

Ourania - Associated with the stars, she is the goddess of astronomy and astronomical writings. She has been depicted pointing at a celestial globe with a rod, but I wasn't able to find more information on her symbols. Her name means "heavenly one".

Thaleia - A goddess that helps bring joy to the world, she is the goddess of comedy and bucolic poetry. She was also considered to be the mother of the Korybantes (a group of seven demigods). She was often depicted with a comedy mask, a shepherd's staff, or a wreath of ivy. Her name has been translated as "festivity" or "blooming".

Melpomene - Holding a domain more somber than the Muse above, she is the goddess of tragedy. She was named the mother of the Sirens by Apollodorus. She was depicted with a tragedy mask, a sword, a wreath of ivy, or cothurnus boots. Her name likely means "to celebrate with song (and dance)".

Polymnia - With a name meaning "many hymns" or "many praises", it's no surprise that she's the goddess of religious hymns. She was often portrayed in a meditative pose.

Erato - A Muse that needs no introduction, she is the goddess of erotic poetry and mime. She was often portrayed with a lyre. Her name means "lovely" or "beloved".

Euterpe - Likely full of rhymes and reasons, she is the goddess of lyric poetry. She was often depicted with a double flute. Her name likely means "well pleasing" or "giver of much delight".

Terpsikhore - Filled with music, she is the goddess of choral song and dancing. She was often depicted with a lyre and plectrum. Her name has been translated to "delighting in dance".

Kalliope - Speaking presentations, writing essays, script reading, reading/writing informational posts/articles/etc., interpreting poetry, poetry writing/reading, sharing your own poetry, communicating clearly with others, important conversations, coping with conflicts, addressing conflicts, making peace with others.

What are some things they can help with specifically?

***These are merely suggestions.***

Kleio - History exams/tests, studying classics/history, delving into your own history, discovering family history, recalling past events, writing myth retellings or similar, identifying patterns of behavior, releasing the past, learning from the past, finding hope for the future.

Ourania - Studying the stars/space, story-telling, understanding the universe around us, memorizing constellations, finding peace in the night, finding hope in the darkness, creating goals for yourself, "reaching for the stars", holding onto your wishes, finding a sense of direction.

Thaleia - Creating your own joy, finding what makes you happy, performing stand-up comedy, writing any form of comedy, play-writing, healthy positivity, learning to laugh things off, releasing stress/burdens, moving forward, expressing your joy.

Melpomene - Coping with hardships, moving through difficult times, releasing the past, forgiving oneself, coping with past mistakes/regret, healing from difficult events, coping with the "downs" of life, play-writing, telling tragic tales, addressing difficult topics sensitively.

Polymnia - Writing devotional poetry/hymns/songs/etc., growing closer with religion/devotion, inspiration for offerings/devotional acts, coping with religious difficulties, finding comfort/joy in religion, connecting with the divine, religious/spiritual writings, connecting with your practice.

Erato - Love letters, confessing your feelings through writings/songs/etc., connecting with sexuality, writing/reading erotic stories, communicating sexual needs, establishing/discovering sexual boundaries, sex positivity (especially through literature), embracing your sexual interests.

Euterpe - Writing poetry, interpreting poetry, communicating one's emotions, romanticizing life, sharing poetry with others, devotional poetry, expressing one's feelings through writing, processing emotions, finding the "right word" for a piece you're writing.

Terpsikhore - Song-writing, learning to dance, expressing yourself through dance/song, connecting with music, processing feelings with musical aid, instrument playing, choral/instrumental performances, writing a musical, musical theater, finding your voice, embracing who you are, expressing yourself.

What’re some Catalan musicians/bands you’d suggest listening to?

It depends on what music genres you like! There's all kinds of music in Catalan: rock, pop, trap, punk, folk, techno, reggae, ska, rumba, rap, etc. I'll tell you some bands I like, but if you tell me what kind of music you like I can give you recommendations of that style.

Btw, you can fins songs I've shared in this blog's tag #música. I've checked it and I see the last music posts I've made are folk music for street celebrations which isn't really what we're looking for here, but if you scroll down a bit you'll find lots of songs translated.

My favourite Catalan bands are Obrint Pas (my favourite since I was a teenager, they make rock with influence of traditional Valencian music), Ginestà (pop), Zoo (rap), and Ebri Knight (rock and folk-punk).

Some of the most popular bands at the moment are The Tyets (trap and reggaeton), Figa Flowas (trap), La Fúmiga (pop), Oques Grasses (pop).

And some of the most famous in the previous decades have been Txarango (2010s, rumba-pop), Els Amics de les Arts (2010s indie pop), Els Manel (2010s indie pop), Els Pets (pop-rock, 1990s and 2000s), Sopa de Cabra (pop-rock, 1990s-2000s), Lax'n'Busto (rock and pop-rock 1990s-2000s), and classics from the 1960s-1970s onwards like Maria del Mar Bonet, Lluís Llach, Raimon, Ovidi Montllor, etc.

Scrolling through your blog feeds my brainrot so well.. So many references/Easter eggs, especially w/ your arsenic blue + associated tags 😩 Hsr?? Diabolik Lovers?? I've been hit with nostalgia so hard... Imagining Percy and the Percy kids in these respective universe... The power scaling would be such heavy diff 😭 In HSR, Percy would be a whole phenomena, depending on the kids they would be whole ass Aeons!!! The lore would be crazy, especially to the characters in the HSR-verse, the potential encounters there.. Some of the Beel kids especially.. genuine eldritch entities there, cosmic horror on a scale previously unknown to any poor trailblazers that happen across poor Percy's spawn.. Imagine them appearing out of nowhere and just terrorising the whole Hoyoverse with their ineffable presence. Lore accurate (to arsenic blues which is somehow more terrifying than actual ROR canon to me) ROR entities would be horrifying to HSR. Trailblazers would be shook, the Herta Spaxe station would be working overtime to figure out what the fuck these absolute fucking lovcraftian horrors are and where they came from... The Genius Society would be stumped, exhilarated and scared shitless if they had any sense (serves them mfs right, they're sleeping on my man Ratio, crisis deserved). If Percy had any level of interaction with literally any faction in HSR she'd probably be so apologetic.. If she was inclined to let slip that those absolute, universe level threats were actually her children. That she physically gave birth to ☠️ what an exchange to have..

Genshin has been mentioned before, even in the fic itself, so they would be extra fucked if they were doomed with Percys fucked up family trees intervention. So much worse than HSR because Genshin takes place on Teyvat which is a single planet, and from what's available in the lore rn, unless Celestia is secretly goated (not that we'd know because they're so elusive about what the hell Celestia even is) they're extra extra extra fucked with the power scaling. Genshin 'Gods'(/Archons) are NOT comparable to ROR Gods in theeee SLIGHTEST 😭

I watched Diabolik Lovers when I was like twelve, and somewhat recently revisited it and looked deeper than just the anime, so there are more factors to a potential crossover with that universe depending on how much of the lore you've consumed and wether you've seen translations of the games (they have banger character songs for Diabolik Lovers btw, I didn't know they existed at first but they do and they're actually really good. I'd recommend Kill You Again, an Azusa song bc hes my fave, my baby boy, my poor little masochistic meow meow ❤️‍🩹🗡). But I digress - I can see the Percy kids going to that universe for shots and giggles, with how haughty the Sakamaki's/Mukamis behave it would be so satisfying to see them get shat on by their power levels being dwarfed, #justiceforYui. I can imagine some Percy kids would infiltrate their universe and start attending their night school or something just to torment them 💀

The closest thing Diabolik Lovers have to a god (that we know of) is Karlehinz Sakamaki, who's the Vampire King and yada yada, he's very powerful in the lore, because I know I've seen somewhere that, while his kids backstories and abuses are way worse in the actual lore than the anime, they were deliberately engineered to be that way because he kept fucking rewinding time, specifically in Cordelias case (mother of the triplets) until she behaved exactly the way he wanted her to to break their kids so that the only form of love they could ever know was the 'love' they'd inevitably feel for Yui. It wasn't really expanded on in the anime aside from the vague references to 'Eve' and picking an 'Adam', but the whole purpose was to have one of the vamps procreate with Yui to conceive a new species, it was also something to do with some disease call Endzeit I think? That wiped out a whole species of demons (I could be mistaken about those two things being connected, but I know the disease exists in the lore and the demons were wiped out, just no lt sure if the disease is the direct cause)- which is what the vampires actually are, they're just a specific clan of demons, I think related to bats, which is why they resemble vampires.

Karlheinz also has some freaky relatives called Shin and Carla, the werewolf (yes, they are actually vampires, shh) dudes who very briefly showed up in the anime who were never expanded on because there were no more seasons. They were part of the race that was wiped out - First Bloods - and have an obsession with restoring their race or whatever (Carla wants to cure Enzeit as well because, oopsie, it appears he has that exact terminal illness, RIP) so they'd definitely have a particular interest in any Percy kids that happened to pop into their dimension because who better to repopulate with than the exact kind of superior race they're trying to propagate??

There are so many plot bunnies here.. So many maladaptive daydreams you have manifested for me.. Ty, Queen 😩😭 Also sorry for infodumping??? You triggered my hyperfixation I only realised the absolute bible of text I've saddled you with after I've typed it all.. also I am sleep deprived and probably oversharing. I'm so sorry 😀🥹🔫 I hope you enjoyed my unhinged raving tho

ANON I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THIS. I GOT UR OTHER ASKS TOO AND THEY'RE AMAZING SIDFAISV IFV 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

you got my crossover juices going 👅

the hsr AU got me thinking of the differences between ror gods and the aeons and it's lowkey like the pjo gods and ror (arsenic blues specifically) gods with the whole freedom thing 💔💔 aeons have even LESS freedom than pjo gods 💔 they quite literally have no choice but to follow their paths. nanook must destroy, qlipoth must preserve, lan must hunt, yaoshi must give in abundance, etc. etc. meanwhile our favorite gods represent their domains yes, but they're not TIED DOWN by it. plus, aeons are soooo distant from their people, meanwhile if the percy babies were to get yoinked to that universe, they WILL be direct and up in your face just for shits and giggles 😭😭😭

(also the slander for the genius society SCREW THEM, THEY DON'T DESERVE DR. RATIO ANYWAYS, HE'S TOO GOOD FOR THEM 😌)

AND LMAO POOR PERCY'S GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME IF HER MANY MANY CHILDREN GOT YOINKED TO THE HSR UNIVERSE CUZ THERE'S SO MANY PLANETS THEY COULD BE IN 😭😭😭 she's gonna have to work overtime, getting to each one and dragging their asses back home and trying to fix their mess 😭 she probably has apology speeches prepared for each damn planet already too 😭😭😭 honestly, she'd probably want to recruit her husbands to help her out, but depending on the yan, the punishment they'd give the kids might be a little TOO much so perhaps she's better off tackling this on her own.....

(she better pray she gets home FAST tho cuz if the yans get worried, they WILL come after her 💀)

and the genshin au! it's been way too long since i played so i can't say much, but she'd absolutely LOVE fontain cuz it's the water place and wish she could vacation there but noooo she has to stop her dumbass kids from destroying teyvat smh 🤦‍♀��� anyway, i can imagine her fawning over the hydro characters cuz she's always been a sucker for water people (ariel, aquaman, squirtle, etc etc.) she always favors any character water-related lol so that'd extend to any teyvat ppl that can manipulate water. she'd think it's the coolest thing ever for humans to do that! (unlike a certain sea god LMAO)

OMG YOU'RE A FELLOW DIABOLIK LOVERS VETERAN TOO OMG HIIIIII 💖💖💖💖 oh man percy's more meaner kids would shit on the diabolik boys so bad 😭😭 vampires, werewolves, demons, etc.? they already got that and several variations of them back home and they're usually considered lesser creatures in the hierarchy while the gods are, ofc, at the top (they'd at least be above humans tho lol)

and holy shit "so they'd definitely have a particular interest in any Percy kids that happened to pop into their dimension because who better to repopulate with than the exact kind of superior race they're trying to propagate??"

I FEEL LIKE THEY GOT THE BEST CHANGE TO REPRODUCE WITH ROZALTHA CUZ SHE'S THE ONE LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND 😭😭 the issue with that is... well.... rozaltha's crazy af 😭 whoever her "husband" is MUST be what she likes 24/7 and the boys definitely aren't it.

laito would cheat on her and she'd kill him. ayato would say something mean to her OR cheat and she'd kill him. kanato's too impatient and he'd probably try to kill her, lose, and get killed himself. shu's too lazy to do anything romantic and she'd get heartbroken and kill him. reiji's a jerk, so he's dead too. subaru's got anger issues and would snap at her, and die for it. azusa's self harm would make her panic and lose it and she'll eventually kill him out frustration. kou has a shit ton of fans that he needs to appeal to, so she'd kill him out of jealousy (and the fans). yuma's too snappy so he's dead. shin's an asshole too, so he's dead. carla and ruki might last the longest tho

(there's also apparently another sakamaki bro that got introduced later on, but idk much about him 💔)

(ask from 💫 anon; doing this so i can easily go back and read these cuz i enjoy them lol)

[nalonzooo]

hi nikki!! how do you choose the references for the poses? The poses in your drawings seem so grounded, natural, and organic; i struggle a lot with that! (thanks in advance for reading my q!)

hi!! thank you sm the kind words 🖤 i’ll try to go more in-depth here about how i pick and “translate” my refs into my art—

((again the usual preface of what works for me might not work for others and pick art advice that works for you etc etc))

so i usually just scroll through pinterest and look for more candid poses of people in action/motion, not looking at the camera—i think that helps with the “natural” feel. i also take a lot of inspiration from existing art from artists i admire, who make the kind of art that i want to make. my challenge is how to make my art without taking heavy/obvious inspiration from existing art or outright copying it from photo refs.

the thing is - having marinated myself in pinterest for years - sometimes i see an artwork and the first thing i think of is the ref because i recognize it >< (i’m just speaking for myself and this is purely a me problem, ofc not everyone thinks like this). so this has informed how i approach my refs—i try to tweak it a bit so it’s not a direct copy. (important to note though that this is just a personal preference and i don’t do this all of the time—if i find myself thinking too hard about my art then it doesn’t get drawn! also it’s totally ok if you do direct copies or inspo of photo refs—it really all depends on what you want to convey as an artist. besides, sometimes some of my poses come out wonky bc i tweak it too much haha) ((also if i have a ref that’s my own photo, even if it’s a photo of my own hand, i outright copy it bc it’s my photo anyway and not available anywhere else)).

most of the time i try to change some part of the pose to better fit the characters i am drawing. here’s an example:

left is the ref, right is the sketch - so i had the base or what i felt was the most “anchoring” part of the ref down - geto carrying gojo - and at first i thought it’d be cute to have gojo throw his head back in laughter and his glasses fall off (ok looking at it now, it’s still cute, i’m 🥹) but i thought it’d feel more in-character to have gojo kind of flexing, showing off, teasing geto a bit, and geto being so easy for him and endeared, laughing and threatening to drop him. it felt much more “them” to me. so i looked up a ref of a guy flexing from the side and ended up with this sketch below on the left (final output is on the right). i still had to figure out the pose a bit bc he now didn’t match the original ref (hence the boxes in the first picture).

so again - pick a pose with movement, and tweak it a bit!

(i pretty much frankensteined this pose—it doesn’t always work but most of the time i go more with vibes than accuracy and it’s okay haha 🚬🥲)

also, regarding translating the ref to 2D, especially if you’re using a photo image of people - these things don’t always look good if you copy them 1:1, which is why animators always suggest “pushing” the pose. i always try to keep a sense of movement in my art, and “pushing” the pose helps that, and helps transform it a bit more from the ref. this will definitely help in making the pose feel more “organic”—more like a drawing, and less like a photo. (if you want a look at how artists push poses, i highly, highly recommend following zeet studio’s instagram account and taking a look at their stories. the way artists have translated models to paper is just incredible and inspiring to me always).

sometimes i’m able to draw without a reference but this is only possible because i have drawn from refs or live drawings and have practiced beforehand because every time we draw, it builds up our visual library. this is why i would suggest trying our very best not to outright trace references - or you have to trace smartly (for example, using the shrimp method - which is literally so simple and smart).

also as another practice: think about the same pose but in different ways. for example, i have a favorite pose to draw satosugu in. because i am deranged about them and i sincerely enjoy the idea of gojo catapulting himself into geto’s arms, i have drawn this many times and i’m always like rotating them in my mind - how would it look from this angle? with this arm placement? what if i tilt them a bit? i built up a ref board of this carrying pose and drew it over and over in different ways until i can pretty much draw it without a ref 😆 and i think i improve a little bit more every time i draw it in terms of angling, weight, posing. it becomes more and more “organic”.

ONE LAST THING in terms of making a pose feel “grounded” - i highly suggest looking at the gege’s manga panels. like he really knows how to make a character stand—they feel heavy, weighted, powerful. think of where the character is resting their weight in the pose, and how the line of action or the “energy” of the pose flows from there. these ones of geto, for example:

((these are so fun to look at ><)) i also personally like to draw a bit of shadow under the character - it helps place them on 3D plane too.

sorry i yapped away again but i hope this helps in any way! <3

- i start draft writing or whatever it’s called😭 just to test..? If i can write it well or not

- start planning. When i plan i use notion mostly.

- “where do you write your fics before posting?” Wattpad. I use the drafts or something in wattpad since i share computer with my mom and if i use google docs im dead if she finds out im writing smut and shit (strict parents).

- i start writingg! Writing series parts usually takes me like 6 hours… although it really depends on how long i want it to be.

- i start editing the banner for the fic. For that i use canva, hypic and pinterest.

- after writing i use both tools. Grammarly while writing and chatgpt for grammar checking. I try to make sure my grammar is alright and both apps help me very well… so if you put it at an ai detector yes it will come out as “ai” because i use it to help me correct grammar and no i do not make ai write it. I writ my own fics very much.

Humans are space oddities: exploring disability, communication, and humanity’s job in space (minimal ableism!)

Humans fill various roles in the broader universe. They work jobs from pet to protection, depending on the client. For the vast majority of beings, humans' adaptability and generalist lifestyle was feared. 

Kell was lucky to be born on a human-claimed world and they were even luckier to have parents who supported them. It wasn’t going to be easy working with non-human crewmates, but at least their parents found them a safe ship to start on. 

When they arrived at the dock, a tall, winged creature stood waiting for them.

“Hello,” it greeted in ASL. Kell looked at them in surprise. ASL? From a non-human? “I’m N-O-X, Nox, moth cryptid, she/her/any. My friend signed me up to be your translator for this trip, since it’s your first time.” Having less fingers than Kell, it was a challenge for them to read her finger spelling, but not impossible.

“Nice to meet you. I’m K-E-L-L, Kell, human, they/them, they replied. I didn’t realize I would be getting a translator.”

“I didn’t either, but I’m always up for something new. Come aboard!” Nox turned and walked onto the ship. Kell followed, bemused. 

On board, Kell’s glasses transcribed spoken Universal Interplanetary Language into scrolling text, but Nox’s translations got the tone across in a way that spoken language wouldn’t be able to. With her help, they were able to easily ask and answer questions, and their crewmates had a lot of questions!

“What do you specialize in? All the captain said was you’d be working with Janmia,” asked a tuscian. 

“Have you seen your lodgings yet? I printed out some human decorations for you, such as the human fruit: pineapple!” said a yuto.

“Do humans usually speak with their hands?” asked a creature that Kell didn’t recognize. All they could tell was it was quadruped. 

“Not all of us, but some can. What was your name again?” they prompted.

“I didn’t tell you. I’m Seva, bromid, she/her. My kind greets each other by exchanging scent signatures, but humans can’t do that so let me at least smell you.” Seva didn’t wait for an invitation to stick her nose way too close. 

“You can say no, you know?” A human leaned over Kell’s shoulder, their words appearing on Kell’s glasses. 

“Ok, then no thanks, Seva!” Kell backed up as Nox translated. Seva hesitated but the new human glared and she backed off.

“Hey, what’s up with the hands?” the human walked around to see Kell’s face better.

Why was a human of all beings so judgemental? Kell grimaced, but replied, “I’m Deaf, it’s sign language. Nox is helping me now, but I’ll text with coworkers when she’s not here.” 

The human looked at Nox as she spoke, then at his watch transcribing her words.

“I can’t hear her vocalizations, but my watch picks it up,” they explained. “I didn’t realize she signed.” Nox flattened her ears and said something else to them; they rolled their eyes and turned to Kell.

“She’s always telling me what to do. But yeah, I need to introduce myself. Prak, human, he/they. I’m the main security on this ship.”

“Kell, human, they/them,” Kell offered. “I didn’t realize humans were actually a thing in the security industry. I’m here as an engine and turbine technician.”

“Our durability makes us pretty good at the job. I didn’t realize humans ever were not involved with security.” Prak glanced at his watch as a message popped up on screen. “Anyways, gotta go. Welcome aboard I guess.” He turned and walked into the crew sleeping area.

Even though Kell couldn’t see them, his words still were transcribed by Kell’s glasses. And from Nox’s startled posture, she heard it too.

“FUCK! Who printed out a pineapple???”

Notes: Kell, Nox, and Prak are all OCs of mine and I wanted to put them in space! Kell was created for this HaSO story and I feel like I haven’t wrote about them in forever.  Prak was made off a prompt that said to make an OC who hates pineapple and won’t tell anyone why (it’s partially because a pineapple killed his father, shh…). He left earth to avoid them.  I need to figure out the timeline of how all my OCs meet because it’s a bit convoluted.
